Ever tried powering up a 8 year old computer PSU by shorting pin 16 (PS_ON) and 17 (COM) together on the main ATX power connector.
Well I did, and it powered up and ran fine for about 10 seconds before making a loud pop and whoosh sound whilst releasing lots of obnoxious white smoke and leaking horrible brown fluid! (side note: What is the brown fluid and will it wash out from my bed cover?)
Lets just say one of the main Caps inside failed catastrophically!
Glad nothing was connected to it!
